Question

Which of the following is NOT part of the mission of the Department of Homeland Security as it was described in the original wording of the Homeland Security Act of 2002?

to minimize the damage and assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks that do occur within the United States
to prevent foreign nationals from entering the United States
to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States
to reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism

Answer 1

"to prevent foreign nationals from entering the United States"

Step-by-step explanation:

The option that is NOT part of the mission of the Department of Homeland Security as described in the original wording of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 is:

"to prevent foreign nationals from entering the United States"

While the Department of Homeland Security is responsible for protecting the United States from various threats, including terrorism, the specific mission of preventing foreign nationals from entering the United States falls under the purview of other agencies, such as the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

The primary focus of the Department of Homeland Security is on preventing terrorist attacks within the United States, minimizing damage and aiding in recovery from attacks, and reducing the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism.

Hope this helps!
